Longio Tourbillon Watches For 2010
To my knowledge, Longio is one of the only Chinese watch brands trying to push and market their tourbillon watches aggressively. I reviewed one of their Telamon 1000m Tourbillon Dive watches here, and originally discussed Longio Chinese tourbillon watches here. You can find more information about the brand in those articles. Here I would like to share with you a few of their new, or other pieces. I visited them at Baselworld and snapped some shots - though the above images of the green numeraled Asamara Tourbillon were sent to me from Longio themselves.The Asamara Tourbillon watch is probably their most distinctive piece. It also features what I call an "architectural" design that the Telamon Diver watch also had. Not that they look the same, but they feel as though they are adapted building designs as opposed to traditional watch designs. All the watches here have a certain "polish" to their case designs.

SKX781K1 Rattling.
Hey guys! First post here. I have a SKX781 (Orange Monster Gen 1) and it recently started making a rattling sound and I could feel the rotor vibrating the case back as it turned. This did not happen for the first week or so when I had the watch but started one morning (about a week ago).The watch still works, date still changes and power reserve is fine, though this sound is worrying nonetheless.I decided to make a video to better explain the issue I'm trying to address. In each video, I first show the motion I am making with the watch, I then move the watch closer to the microphone for you to better hear the sound.This first video shows the winding sound of the watch, this is how I believe it should sound (just a bit loud) and I can feel it vibrating the case back.https://youtube/watch?v=nFiJXpBcuuwThis second video shows the worrying sound, as if the entire movement is moving within the case.https://youtube/watch?v=56l0TPjv6WsAny feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Cheers!
